Watch this FREE strategy video from LearnWPT Lead Instructor Nick Binger as he explains First-in Hand Ranges (what hand ranges you should be playing when it folds to you preflop).

If you are a tournament player and haven't added these first-in hand ranges to your game plan you are missing opportunities to grow your chip stack and gain a balanced preflop attack.

Understanding what hands to act with preflop from Early, Middle, or Late Position is crucial to your success!

As an added bonus you can download our First-In Hand Ranges for Tournament Play by clicking the button below. Use these range charts preflop for raising first-in facing Tough Opponents.

Here are a few points from this video to remember whenever you are at the tables...

Think in Hand Ranges:

• All hands a player may have in a given situation
• Avoid trying to put your opponent on a specific hand
• Position, action, and stack depth help determine ranges
• Analyzing hand ranges is best done away from the table

Tips for Using the Charts:

• You should raise with all hands highlighted in PINK. Do not call the minimum bet amount - RAISE!
• Your raise sizing should be 3 times the big blind amount. For example if blinds are 100-200 in a tournament and you elect to raise first-in to the pot, your total bet amount should be 600
• Stay consistent with your raise sizing. If you raise a larger amount with a specific hand and smaller amounts with others, you will be easier to read at the table

Remember, these charts are intended for use when you are the first person to put chips in the pot before the flop aside from the blinds (forced bets).
